STX: Making car registration easy and transitioning to island life

We had a friend Paul move down last week. His car got here and he hired Jason Rames to help him navigate all the steps of the process—road taxes, custom payments, inspection, registration and licensing. Paul said it was incredibly easy to get his car registered with Jason’s help and a lot less stressful than he was expecting. He also noted that having Jason guide him through the process saved him time, as he probably would have gotten some of the steps out of order.

Jason charges $175 for the whole process of getting a car out of port and onto the road. He also can do registration renewals (we are using him for our renewal in April) for $50.00. In addition to those services, he can also arrange for a postal box, do light moving and secure storage facilities. Depending on what you need, those services range from $100-200.

In the interest of full disclosure, we are friends with Jason’s brother and that’s how we learned about Jason. Jason grew up on St. Croix (his family has been here for 6 generations) and is a master at navigating the various government bureaucracies and island businesses. We also hired Jason when we sent our car down and he did a great job for us. I highly recommend him—he’ll make those transition items a lot easier. You can reach Jason at (340) 473-8586 or [email protected].

I’m also going to post this info on the classified section, in case folks look there for this kind of information. KJ
